loves her.
Lebo says what makes her unique is that her
perspective is anchored in her hope for her people. She sees potential in a
situation that others may see as a dead end. She chooses to believe there is a
way around an obstacle when others may turn around. “I believe I have a lot to
give this world,” said Lebogang.
Lebo mentioned that her biggest fear is not
living up to her potential. She knows she needs to put herself out there and
play a part in helping to achieve the world she wants to be part of.
Faith says failures helped her in her
achievements because her failure offered her an opportunity to reflect
especially on things, she is most passionate about. She believes that she is a
better person because of her many failures, and the opportunities she has had
to try again. “My reasons for my pursuit are always clearer after failure,” is
Lebogang’s favourite quote and she lives by it.

what you are passionate about you should not give up because of the first
failure, you should try again and give it your best.
